About this website and its publisher

The Explore Low Furness Website is an integral feature of the HIDDEN LIGHT- LOW FURNESS Project which will be fully operational by Easter 2004.

Hidden Light-Low Furness is for those seeking spiritual refreshment and renewal beyond the bustle of better known tourist destinations. The remarkable village communities of Low Furness form deep wells of inspiration and quiet power.

Secreted amongst the subtle green hills which lie between the Lakeland mountains and the beautiful coast of Morecambe Bay, Hidden Light-Low Furness is centred on what is probably the oldest church in continuous use in Britain, with connections to some of the key figures in early Christianity in Britain and Ireland. From this sanctuary, the Hidden Light Team will act as an information, communication and interpretation link for those travellers seeking fresh sources of sensitivity, hope and vision.

Hidden Light-Low Furness will be closely linked with the First Light Origins Discovery Programme, an archeological interpretation programme, based on important archeological findings in Low Furness.

The KEY FEATURES are:
• active exploration and ‘hands on’ experience of our rich and exciting spiritual heritage
• an extensive archeological and interpretation programme based on Great Urswick
• the development of National Curriculum Resource opportunities for Schools
• the integration and co-ordination of tourism opportunities within Low Furness and access to other local initiatives.

If you would like to kept informed of developments, discoveries, opportunities, future programmes of events, publications,etc. please complete the on-line registration form.
